Happy Spring! But we are already dreaming of August and FUP 2017!  During the spring we select new FUPleaders, talk to community partners and plan for VISITAS! If you will be coming to campus on Visitas Weekend, come to the Student Organization Center at Hilles (known as the SOCH and prounounced either of two ways--like "sock" or like "sosh" as in "social". Don't ask us, we don't know why either), on Sunday, April 23rd, from 4-6pm to meet the FUPLeaders. They will be able to answer your questions and you will get hear all about this fabulous program in person!
